Exploring Phylogenetic Relationships between Hundreds of Plant Fatty Acids Synthesized by Thousands of Plants. more details ...
Abstract In three-year period (1993 to 1995) at the Research Institute of Crop Production Praha-Ruzyne selected species of alternative oil crops were cultivated in field trials and subsequently tested and analysed for oil content and composition of different fatty acids. Different varieties of individual crops were tested on three different sites and under three degrees of N fertilization. During the investigated period the following minimum and maximum values of oil content in seeds of different crops were recorded: Camelina sativa 32.1 to 45.7%, Carthamus tinctorius 18.3 to 26.9%, Crambe abyssinica 23.3 to 39.1%, Cannabis sativa 32.3 to 40.7%, Coriandrum sativum 7.6 to 23.3%. In addition, the following average values of dominant fatty acids (as a percentage of the total content of fatty acids) were found for the investigated period in different crops: Camelina sativa 37% of linolenic acid, Carthamus tinctorius 77.8% of linoleic acid, Crambe abyssinica 57.4% of erucic acid, Cannabis sativa 56.5% of linoleic acid, Coriandrum sativum 79.6% of oleic acid. Analysis of variance in double classification was used to evaluate the effect of the applied N fertilization and sites on the oil content in seeds of the crops under study. Statistical significant effect on the oil content was found in none of the studied crops neither in site, nor in N fertilization.
